So take those easy jogs.coach dionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464619260070895703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309666217976230745.post-9140292821955532662011-04-28T19:31:15.397-04:002011-04-28T19:31:15.397-04:00laura, one thing you might want to consider is doi...laura, one thing you might want to consider is doing your recovery runs slower. i know you said you get a bit antsy when you run slow, but the reality (for most people) is that if you back off and truly run easy on your easy days, you can push harder and gain more fitness on your hard days. that certainly tends to be the case for me and my training partners. most of our easy runs--which, in a typical week, comprises 4-5 days--range between 7:30 and 8:00 pace. Some might even be slower. To be honest, when I run some of my usual loops where I already know the mileage, I don't even take a watch with me so I won't feel (self-imposed) pressure to run faster. <br /><br />i know everyone is different, but this is just an observation based on reading your blog. for what it's worth, though i'm certainly not world-class, i have run decent times with this philosophy. 16:35, 34:35 and recently qualified for the Trials in the marathon.<br /><br />best of luck with your training.Meagan Nedlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08765071425503584768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309666217976230745.post-57417015849882059322011-04-28T16:06:46.074-04:002011-04-28T16:06:46.074-04:00well I'll say it again speed and mileage don&#...well I'll say it again speed and mileage don't mix I'll say it again you are training too fast ...

I didn't go back to get my bike "really adjusted" for almost half a year after I got it (was hard for me to get there on a weekday, and they were busy on the weekends, and I am impatient). When I did, the guy told me that my seat was at least an inch too low and my feet weren't straight in the pedals (which caused my knee to be turned out). Hope your knee is doing better!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316895457983933778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309666217976230745.post-48574528225900831512011-04-28T12:27:51.708-04:002011-04-28T12:27:51.708-04:00Take care of that knee. considering the way you ha...Take care of that knee. considering the way you have upped the mileage lately and still pushing the pace it's amazing you haven't had any injury issues. Also, although they say biking is suppose to be less stress, when you are knew to it it can cause knee problems, especially if you are pushing a bigger gear. That could be as much of the cause of knee pain as the running. Did you have the bike fit set up for you by a fitting pro?runjoeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144630884574152071noreply@blogger.com
